Fire At Ukraine's Nuclear Power Plant After Russian Attack

The Russians have removed the dam that the Ukrainians put in place, pre-war, to cut off the water supply to Crimea. I guess that dam site is one piece of real estate that will never be returned to Ukraine.
 
The spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov, issued an official statement on Friday morning concerning the shootout and fire that had occurred at Ukraine’s Zaporozhskaya nuclear power plant earlier the same day.

“Last night, an attempt to carry out a horrible provocation was made by Kiev’s nationalist regime on the area surrounding the station,” he announced, claiming the Russian troops patrolling the territory had been attacked by a Ukrainian sabotage group.

According to the spokesman, the Ukrainian forces had attacked Russian soldiers at about 2am local time, opening heavy fire from the training facility next to the power station in order to “provoke a retaliatory strike on the building.”

The Russian patrol had neutralized the group’s firing points, but the saboteurs had then set fire to the training facility as they retreated, Konashenkov said. The blaze was put out by the Ukrainian State Emergency Service’s firefighters. “At the moment of provocation, no staff members were at the facility,” he noted.

Now which version is true ?
 
Ukrainian neo-Nazis attempted to overrun the plant in 2014;

In May 2014, 40 armed members claiming to be representatives of Right Sector allegedly tried to gain access to the power plant area.[10] The men were stopped by the Ukrainian police before entering into Enerhodar.

The Zaporizhzhia power plant is located around 200 km away from the War in Donbas combat zone, where fighting became very severe in 2014. On 31 August 2014, a Greenpeace member, Tobias Münchmeyer, expressed concerns the plant could be hit by heavy artillery from the fighting.

That's right. Now it's secured from Neo-Nazis.

In May 2014, 40 armed members claiming to be representatives of the ( neo-Nazi ) Right Sector allegedly tried to gain access to the power plant area.[10] The men were stopped by the Ukrainian police before entering into Enerhodar.
